A story rooted in the economic development of Jarry
Le Village de Jarry was established in the 1990s, at a time when the Jarry area was emerging as Guadeloupe’s main economic hub. Its opening accompanied Jarry’s expansion, becoming a strategic space for merchants and a central point for residents and visitors alike.

Created to meet the growing needs of local consumers and surrounding businesses, it quickly established itself as a dynamic crossroads, blending commercial activity and leisure.
Unlike other shopping centers on the island, it benefits from a strategic location near the main roadways connecting Pointe-à-Pitre and Baie-Mahault, as well as the autonomous port.
